A/N: Hey guys thanks for all the reviews I got for the last chapter!

Billie Joe: I do my best with the story! Can I ask what sex? I only had it in one of the chapters and I have the PG-13 rating up there to let you know that. Sorry if it was a little bit much... but I did warn you... that's my only defence really...

JadeMoon: I'm only 16 as well and I'm... A senior? O! I am Irish yeah. I live pretty near Cobh... Ring a bell? It's in Cork and it's a really nice fishing village. I love it there, because where I am is very isolated (And by that I mean in the middle of nowhere) so I go to Cobh a lot with my mates.

No my school system is not really like yours=(In mine you go into what's called playschool or well the real name is Montessori and you go there when your 3 or 4 or 5- it depends on the parents.

Then you go to Primary school and that starts at junior infants (your 4 or 5) then senior infants then it goes to 1st class all the way up to 6th class then you leave Primary school after your confirmation and graduation.

After that you go to Secondary school and that starts in 1st year (your about 11 or 12 then) and it goes up to 6th year where I am now- and because I started school when I was only four it means I'm really young to be leaving to go to college, but hey, I don't care as long as I leave school!

Wow! That was a long reply! Hehehehe! But I'm glad you liked the chapter and enjoy the new one!

Samantha: O thanks so much for the info! That was amazing. You really do all that? Get drunk... yeah I understand but.... Your parents don't care; my mum would mutilate me if I came home plastered! Enjoy the new chapter!

Saz-646: I feel better now- it was one of those 48 or 49 hour things and I wasn't really in the best of moods. I can understand you were mad- I would be too. It really wasn't very nice what they did- Tictac? Well! I would have killed my brother if he had had done that- but he wouldn't dare! Enjoy!

Booklover03: I am such a sap for the cute stuff! Glad you like it! Thank you!

Guys do you think that the sex a couple of chapters ago was to much?- just interested...

Warning: There is going to be a little bit of ahem... sex in this chapter so.... just to tell you! It's not graphic. More like a hint (I don't think anyway- you can be the judge) but I just thought I'd better let you know!


Chapter seventeen: Together or apart?

"Come to your bedroom bedroom window" Hunter said and I started- what?

I crossed to the window and looked out into the still night. It was really dark outside. Though the moon was not full, it was a cloudless night, and the shadows in the trees were pitch black in contrast to the illuminate blond that was pressed against the night that pressed around my house.

Suddenly the phone went dead (A/N: God it's a bit dramatic isn't it?) and I heard footsteps coming out of the shadows and Hunters blond face smiling up at me grinning from ear to ear.

"Boo..." he mouthed and waggled his eyebrows at my as I shook my head in an amusement. Some people would consider him totally humourless, hadn't got a bone in his body. But as I had learned with Hunter, appearances can be deceiving.

Suddenly I lost my characteristic self-control and ran out of my room and down the stairs trying to make as little noise as possible.

I stepped out into the night air and I saw Hunter standing there.

I was nervous so I smiled, I found out I did that a lot when I was.

Hunters face broke into the biggest grin I have ever seen and he opened his arms invitingly and without thinking I raced over to him and through my arms around his next and jumped up onto him kissing him wildly.

I could tell he was surprised, I could tell it from the way he responded but never the less it didn't stop him in the slightest. He tightened his hold on me and he pressed me up against an old oak tree that had been on my houses ground since the early 1900's.

"I've missed you" Hunter whispered to me, kissing a line of coldness beneath my jaw and I shivered- but not from cold.

"Hunter" I moaned and as I heard it, it was not the sound of someone being soothed.

He pulled back and smiled at me knowingly and leaned in again and whispered close to my ear "I'm staying at a BB near here" and I shivered again.

Goddess it had been so long since we....

I nodded unable to speak and he nodded as well and kissed me again moving his arms up and down my arms as if trying to warm me up "I love you" I said helplessly and I felt him smile against me.


The BB was indeed close like Hunter had said, it was one my family new well, since Hunter didn't have his house he had to stay here for the few days (hopefully longer) that he was here. I glanced sideways at his profile and smiled inside.

Everything about him entranced me, spoke to me, and drove me crazy really, his hair it looked had only just been cut and it fell onto his face in feathery wisps and in the moonlight he looked beautiful.

Hunter caught me looking and winked at me as he made a right hand turn then another left and I recognised the old building that had once been a courthouse as it came into view.

Hunter didn't waste any time, he led me to his room and then... I lost everything and found it at the same time.


I woke up late the next morning and wondering what the hell I was going to tell my parents I looked over at Hunters sleeping form as saw he was breathing evenly.

I had always thought that Hunter would be intense while he slept- like he was with everything else, but he wasn't. His face had relaxed in a way I have only seen when I am this close to him. (A/N: Hehehehe! You know what I mean)

He unconsciously ran a hand through his hair and moaned in his sleep. I was lying at his side, on my side and he was on his back spread out with his arms around me. I raised up onto my elbow and looked down at my boyfriend adoringly, laughing to myself as he scrunched up his nose since his hair was bothering, it was long in the front reaching almost down to his eyes, I never realised it did that since he always kept it back tousled over his head "Hello love" Hunter said sleepily breaking me out of my stupor.

I smiled at him after a minute and he leaned over and kissed me. Leaning into me and slanting his head slightly.

I welcomed his touch after having gone so long without it "Hmmm Hunter" I said holding his neck.

He started to kiss my neck and shoulders and I giggled and he stopped, as I saw a question in his eyes I kissed him again.

"You have no idea how much I've missed you" he said kissing me once.

"I've missed you too," I murmured and he gently tucked my hair in behind my ear.

"Tell me about it" he invited lying back down and taking me with him.

I put my head into the crook of his shoulder and breathed in his scent, I would never forget his scent for as long as I lived "It's just hard without you- I missed you" I said simply, shrugging my shoulders in a helpless gesture.

Hunter looked at me more closely as he sensed the meaning behind my words " What's wrong- has something happened?"

I shook my head and traced the smooth skin of his cheek "No- nothing like that- I've just missed you" I said and he seemed to be deciding what to say next, he looked for the first time at the room.

"I Know it's been a while but- we here now- we're together now" he said as he rested his hands on my hips.

"I Know it's hard but...." He trailed of, unsure of what to say to me.

He looked up suddenly and my eyes caught his and in a flash I remembered those eyes, those wide eyes above me, I looked away feeling suddenly shy " Hunter... You know I love you- more than anything but I hate being so far away from you, I hate that I cant see you"

"We'll find a way," he promised.

We'll find a way.... Yes we would, but would it be together or apart?


Authors note

Was that chapter just sex? No after serious pondering I don't think so. I mean all couples do that right? Just wanted to write that scene... don't ask me why because I haven't got a clue.

Anyway I was going to continue it there but I feel crap again, so the next chapter is going to be a continuation... ok?

It'll be up later maybe.... If I'm still alive that is.

I hope it wasn't to graphic I know it's only PG- 13, should I raise it?

Review and tell me what you think, I know I have a lot of questions for you and I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
